SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless - Gaming Headset for PC, PS4/5, Mobile - 100+ Audio Presets via App - Neodymium Magnetic Drivers - 60H Battery - 2.4GHz or BT - ClearCast Gen2.X Mic

Update after a few weeks use: Overall still very comfortable and light, no problem at all using this for hours on end (after changing the ear pads). Sound is good and precise. A couple things are annoying; - The button to toggle between bluetooth and 2.4 mode is placed exactly where I normally put my thumb to pull the headset on/off, so often I will accidentally click the button and have to click again to cycle back to 2.4 mode. - The mic picks up every tiny little sound and activates, seemingly no matter the setting. The Discord overlay in-game shows my avatar constantly blinking from me clicking the keyboard or moving a little, but my team can't hear anything coming through the mic. It would of course be worse if sound also came through, but the blinking on all of our monitors is annoying enough. I just mute unless comms are needed to avoid this. - The mute button is also placed where I would normally put my thumb to take it on/off, just on the opposite side of the Bluetooth/2.4 mode button. I keep muting/unmuting when taking headset on/off, and almost every time I put my headset down on my desk I accidentally un-mute. Think I will just get a headset holder to avoid this, as I really don't want to hang anything on my monitor. Factor in a set of replacement earpads in to the base cost of these, because the standard ones that come with the headset is utter garbage; scratchy fabric, uneven height on the foam, far too squishy and too shallow. I have normal sized ears that doesn't stick out at all, yet my ears touched the headset hardware. I spent less than £20 on replacement 'cooling' earpads, they are 100x times better and absolutely worth every penny. Outside that, the headset is really great so far. Very easy to connect and set up with the GG software, fit my head just perfect without clamping too hard(I wear glasses so that would be a dealbreaker), and feels very light. Value for money seems about right. The sound settings are near endless with loads of presets for different games, very clearly defined directional sound. All in all a much better sound experience than with my old Corsair HS80 that I had to replace after just over 2 years. I will update this review after some more use as it has only seen about 10 hours use thus far.

These headphones have a really good battery life, even if I sometimes forget to charge them, the battery life is still good enough to get something in before it needs to be charged fully. It’s a bit annoying that you can’t use them while charging but I don’t mind as they’re pretty quick to charge to a decent amount. The microphone is perfect and works really well. I appreciate the mute button that is included on the headphones for them. Overall, a pretty solid product and would recommend buying these or similar headphones from this company.

Bought this headset and I’m impressed by the quality of it. It’s very comfortable and easy to adjust. The sound quality is excellent and it makes a big difference playing games. The mic is easy to pull out and I like that I can put it away when I’m not using it. Battery life is long too, and being able to switch between wireless connection and Bluetooth means I can use it with my PC and phone.

First wireless gaming headset. I only bought it for discord on phone and laptop due to having a newborn and wanting to talk to people without wires getting in the way of newborn baby tasks. Audio quality is superb and it's very comfortable. Looks solidly built. Compatible with Bluetooth and WiFi and fits well. I'd say it's decent value for what it is but I'm not really a connoisseur/audiophile

It is very good, but my only complaint is sometimes I have to turn it off and turn it back on again for my friends to hear me clearer

Love my headset they are light on my head sound is amazing I owned the steel series Nova pro also and the only reason I down graded was cause the Nova pro were a little to heavy for me if you want a great headset but the steel series you won't be disappointed

I would give 0 stars if i could. This is the worst headset I have used, the dongle contantly disconects, even when I have it right next to my headset. DO NOT BUY

I bought these few months ago and am really happy with the purchase. I bought them mostly for WfH and sound quality in calls is great. But I enjoy wearing them for watching videos or listening to podcasts as well. They are very comfortable, I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. The battery life lasts forever. I never had them run out of battery and I charge them very irregularly. They are easy to connect and to configure because it's only very few buttons and works quite intuitevly. The only thing I am missing is that you can only connect one bluetooth device at a time. I have a Jabra headset at work and that can connect to several devices at once, which is great for using it for my private phone and work laptop simultaneously.

the great price, the great sound, microphone, and you can also change whatever u want in app on phone, and on pc or laptop they also have very good app, i love this brand

Great audio and a very sleek design!

Le cuffie sono eccezionali, e lo dico da possessore di Turtle Beach Elite Pro che pesano quasi mezzo kg e mi procuravano dolore alla mandibola e fastidio alla testa per l'eccessivo peso a mio avviso neppure ben calibrato. La prima cosa che ho notato è la leggerezza elle Artic Nova 5 , tanto da non riuscire quasi a sentirle, ed è un fattore predominante per chi come me ha la testa piccola e porta gli occhiali. I padiglioni sono rivestiti da memory foam ultra-morbido e gli occhiali non restano incastrati, anzi le aste possono muoversi liberamente proprio a conferma dell'ottimo design delle cuffie. La fascia per regolare altezza e stabilità è fantastica, quasi non si avverte e non avrete ma una sensazione di peso e trascinamento verso il basso perché stabili e leggere. Sulla qualità non si discute, l'audio è eccezionale seppur presenti qualche pecca ad altissimo volume (che cmq è sconsigliato per altri motivi). L'applicazione SteelSeries GG consente ci configurare e aggiornare tutto, ma il vero tocco di classe è il Sonar. Tramite Sonar potrete non solo mixare l'equalizzatore diversificandolo per applicazione e contenuto, ma in fase di gaming potrete impostarlo sulle impostazioni predefinite di decine di titoli (i più famosi) per avere un suono perfetto e ottimizzato per quel gioco. L'ho provato con Cyberpunk 2077 ed è stato incredibile. Altro strumento indispensabile da attivare per il mix gaming è lo Spatial Sound che restituisce una qualità surround 7.1 eccezionale per delle cuffie di fascia media e vi consente persino di spostare gli altoparlanti virtuali o modificarne l'accuratezza. Provato anche con giochi in prima persona e la precisione è davvero ottima. Non ho riscontro problemi particolari, neppure con i Bassi che risultano profondi il giusto considerando che sono in cuffia ma all'occorrenza possono essere amplificati tramite il Mixer. E' molto semplice configurarle ed usarle, la carica dura tantissime ore, e il segnale è stabile. Non fanno sudare e non arrossano le orecchie, ma d'estate presumo un po' facciano patire come del resto tutti gli altri modelli. Ho trovato buono anche il livello di insonorizzazione, che isola abbastanza ma consente ancora di riuscire a percepire la suoneria del telefono se messo nelle vicinanze...il che l'ho trovato personalmente un pregio piuttosto che un difetto. Davvero felice di questo acquisto.

Great quality and great brand. Have tried other headset brands but will always come back to Steelseries. Recommend

Muy contento con ellos, se escuchan muy bien, la conexion por bluetooh con cualquier dispositivo es correcta, son muy comodos, les dura bastante la bateria y el micro se escucha decente, para mi son mas que recomendables, lo mejor que probre hasta ahora, viniendo de unos logitech G533 la mejora es abismal. Mi unica pega es el programa con el que puedes hacer todas las configuraciones de audio, porque cuando activas Sonar para modificar todo te crea muchas salidas de audio que para mi es un engorro, igualmente puedes usarlo con algunos de los preset que son suficientes, es cierto que de forma predeterminada el sonido es flojillo pero a poco que le cambies o le pongas alguno de los preset se arregla por completo.
